Permissionless vs Public Blockchain

Permissionless means anyone can participate in a blockchain network without requiring approval from any authority. Users can join, transact, validate, and build applications freely without gatekeepers controlling access or censoring participation.

A public blockchain is an open, permissionless distributed ledger that anyone can join, view, and participate in without requiring approval from a central authority. Transactions are transparent and validated by a decentralized network of participants.
